tt_save_dataset: Save datasets for submission

In tidytuesdayR: Access the Weekly 'TidyTuesday' Project Dataset

Save datasets for submission

Description

Datasets for TidyTuesday submissions should be saved in a specific format, with an accompanying data dictionary dataset_name.md file. This function saves the dataset as a CSV file in your submission directory (creating the submission directory if it does not already exist), and creates a data dictionary file for you to fill out. If you're in an interactive session, the dictionary file is opened for editing.

Usage

tt_save_dataset(
  dataset,
  path = "tt_submission",
  dataset_name = rlang::caller_arg(dataset),
  open = rlang::is_interactive(),
  ignore = FALSE
)

Arguments

dataset	The clean dataset to save. The dataset must be a data.frame.
path	The relative path to the directory to hold your submission files (tt_submission by default). If this directory does not exist, it will be created.
dataset_name	The name to save the dataset as. By default, the name of the dataset variable is used.
open	Open the newly created file for editing? Happens in RStudio, if applicable, or via utils::file.edit() otherwise.
ignore	Should the newly created file be added to .Rbuildignore?

Value

A logical vector indicating whether the file was created or modified, invisibly.

Examples

  tt_save_dataset(mtcars)
